Capturing Snakes.

Townsville Times.
Some days ago little ] D O'Hearn
was strolling down near the branch
just north Of the city whcn he dis
covered a large snake under a log.
He at once tried to capture the
snake, but it escaped. just then
he saw two more and grabbed one
of them back of the neck and then
drew its tail up and held it in the
same hand, and then proceeded to
catch the other with the other
hand. In doing this he got bit on
the other hand and deliberately
stopped and sucked the poison
from the wound and then captured
the reptile as at first attempted. -~
Getting this snakes head and tail
in one hand, just as he had the
other, he returned home, stopping
several times on the way to show
several parties he met how he could
make the snakes fight by putting
their heads together. After play
ing with them as long as he wanted
to, he took them home and placed
them in box. Mr.. Fudge, his
brother-in-law, having heard about
them, had the snakes killed. The
boy is about IA years old. The
bite Of the snake, although it was a
poisonous moccasin, never even
made sore. He says he is not
afraid of snakes, and catches them
just for fun.

Change in Stamps.

The postofice department about
the 18th of September next will
make certain changes in the color
and design OF some of its adhesive
stamps and impressed stamps upon
envelopes. The two cent adhesive
stamp, now issued in green, will be
changed to yermillion. The de-
sign Of adhesive stamps will remain
unchanged, In stamped envelopes
the tw" cent envelope will be
changed from red to green; the
four cent envelope will be. changed
from green to carmine; the FIVE
cent from brown to dark blue; the
thirty cent, from black to brown,
and the ninety cent. from carmine
to purple. The design of the
stamped envelopes will also be the
same as now, except with the one,
two, four and FIVE cent de1omina-
tions. The heads of these stamps
have been re-engraved and have a
slightly different appearance from
the old STAMPS, and the ornamen,
tation around them is also slightly
changed. One purpose in making
the changes in color is to have that
Of stamped envelopes correspond,
as nearly as possible, with that Of
J tho adhesive stamp.

HOME.

Q you remember, Sweet,
A Summer long ago
A quiet village street,
Its houses ali arrow;
Broad elm trees shading each,
Gay woodbine Claspin'
A little lawns cleer read
III the sun!
As like as nest to nest,
When robins build and
With rapture in the breast,
. Through all the days of spring!
Is ike as bud to bud,
When early snowdrops glow,
Those simple homes that stood
In 8 row.
Yet never breast Of bird
But knew its chosen rest,
Ard never heart bit stirred
The sweetcr for It's nest.
Twas not the woodhine spray,
No light OF springing flowers
Twas love, with kindling ray,
Sho sed us ours.
0, simple were our cares,
And all our store of wealth
Was daily love and prayers,
Clear hope, abiding health.
Our hearts with youth we're light
And the burdens of the day
The greeting kiss at night
Could repay.
Those summer days are done,
The autumn winds are cold,
We shiver in the sun;
Tis late and we are old
Already on our sight
Heavens many mansions glow
With lnstre pure and bright
Let us go.
I wonder-will it be
A wide and stately dome,
A palace large and free,
Where we sl,all find our home,
Or Just sheltered nook,
Claspedin the woodbine's fold,
With dear, familiar look,
As of old,
.[Ida w. Benham, in Good

The Strangest of Duels.

An evening paper publishes the
following letter, just received by
w G Martina, of Mexico, a promi-
! nent coffee merchant, who is regis
tered ut the Burnett house:
'Senor Victoria challenged Sc
nor Pedrazo to fight duel. The
latter accepted the challenge, and
stipulated that the duel must take
place in dark room. AS he had
the choice of weapons he demanded
that Victoria meet him in the room
IN which was to be placed 100 tar
antulas Of the most poisonous kind.
According to agreement they
would devote their energies to
killing the tarantulas instead of
fighting each other. Neither must
leave the room until all the poison
Gus spiders were killed.
'Pedrazo, it is thought, expected
that Victoria would never accept
the weapons, but Victoria declined
to back down and the duel was
taught. All that is known about
it is that it was taught in a loom as
dark as dungeon. There was no
sounds and no one at Tampica sus.

were broken open both men we're
